Faye walks to them and heard Kei's words.
She kicks the back of his knee making Kei kneel in one knee.

Kei glares at Faye.
"Don't talk badly about your mother! Who gives you the right to talk badly about her? She died for you!"
Faye angrily pointed at her.

"In whatever court we go...Her giving birth to me and dying for me is not to be blame to me!" Kei stands up and pats his knee.

"How heartless are you?"
Faye angrily clenched her fist.

"What do you mean?" Kei frowns.
"As I am growing up, some adults tease me calling me my mother's killer. Children call me a parentless monster.
Our neighbors always laugh while I walk pass them and whispering about my mother climbing up a rich married man's bed. If there is someone who should be mad at my mother......"

"It's not your turn to get mad at her."

Kei turns his head and saw a familiar but also unfamiliar woman.

"Hello, it's been a while now Kei."

".....Maam."

Belle Victorian.

She is beautiful and elegant.
And also...Aurora and Faye's mother.

"Mom!"
Aurora and Faye went to greet their mother with a kiss to her cheek.

"I heard you." Belle flicks Kei's forehead.

Kei rubs his forehead.
"...I am not wrong."

"You think you are not wrong huh. You are the one that grows inside her stomach. How awful and painful it was to give birth...in the end she give up her life for you. Even if the world hated her, you alone has no right to feel that."

Kei looks down pouting.
He feels repulsive inside.

"She is the reason why Grandma cried every night.." he whispers between his teeth.

"You are such a fool." Belle rubs his head.
"She is wrong but you are her redemption. Through you, she can right all her mistake. Wouldn't it be right for you to do that?"

Kei didn't answer.

Belle sighs.
"Why am I going to carry her sins for her? You are not a child anymore. How long will you be stubborn? Just admit that you love her. And everything will be easier."

"Maam, do not put words in my mouth. When did I say I love her?"

Belle rubs his head.
But Kei moves his head away.

Faye and Aurora look at them, unable to meddle.

Ashley stops Asher from running to Kei.
"This is Kei's problem. He should face it alone."

"Why? I won't bother Kei. I will just hold his hand. There is no rule that people should face his worries alone."
Asher said.

Ashley was dumbfounded.
She smiles and rubs Asher's head.
"Right, you really mature fast when you have people you want to protect." Ashley let Asher go.

Asher holds Kei's hand.

Kei is looking down while biting his lips.
He hated it.
Everyone is telling him to let go and forgive his mother.
Telling him he loves her.
Who is she?
She is just someone he barelt knows.
He admits that he owes her his life. He is grateful.
But why does he has to love that mistress?

Half of the misery in his life is cause of her wrong choices.

When Asher holds his hand, Kei looks at him.
Asher smiles at him.

Kei remembers when Asher is lost. He is crying alone.
The first thing that enters his head is to run away and not involve himself with him.
Someone will help him.
Someone else who has a lesser problem.
He is not a hero.
He doesn't want to get involve.

But in the end he stops running away and help him out.

He just want to help him and they will part ways.

But Asher become a huge part of his life.
Talking to Asher is fun because though he is a child he wanted to sound and talk adult.

"Don't worry Kei. You are allowed to feel what you want to feel."

Belle froze hearing Asher.

Kei hugs Asher and he cried hugging him.
This time, it was Kei who is lost.

Kei is always insecure not about being the illegitimate child...what he doesn't know deep inside is....what does he really feel toward his mother.

He believes he hates her.
She is stupid and selfish and she is a homewrecker.
But deep inside he is always feeling like his heart is being stabbed every time he said those words toward her.

But logically, he should not care about her. He barely knows her.
And he agrees that she is a bad woman.

"Not a bad mother..." Kei hugs Asher tighter.
"But she is not a bad mother." This is the only truth that Kei knows about his own mother.

Belle sighs.

Ashley heave a sigh.

Asher pats his head.
"Cry Kei. But make sure not to crush my bones. I still wish to live atleast 70 more years."

Kei let's go of Asher.

Aurora and Faye hug him from the back instead.

Kei wipes his tears.
"Okay, I am fine now!" He angrily pushes them away.
